On June 11, Magnus posted a TikTok slide show that has since gone viral. Magnus decided to rate the things his father has done, revealing how the Barbie actor cosplayed as a medieval lord to embarrass him at prom. That’s classic Will Ferrell – and it seems like his son appreciates it too, as he rated it “10,000/10”.
